  • Mosaic colorwork for a vibrant finish, including diamonds, chevrons and flowers

  • Edgings to give any blanket that perfect finishing touch, from filet, waves and lace to simple double crochet

The book also contains a comprehensive techniques section covering everything you need to know, from basic stitches, to joining motifs, blocking and making pompoms. Plus, 4 gorgeous blanket projects are also included, to inspire you with exciting combinations of stitches.

This inspiring visual directory will build your confidence and skills, and can be referred to again and again, whenever you need inspiration or advice.
